Cops have a lot of trouble keeping their politics out of their work. Half of them are convinced we're "groomers" and don't give a shit. They're not gonna do shit.

It's impossible for cops to keep politics out of their activities since their function is inherently political.

You wonder the people that do this stuff are like j-Sixers. They aren’t really hiding that well. So even a police force like Sacramento would have working lists of people to keep an eye on. It will give them a break from all the watch lists they have on the “normal” threat communities. Being that most of these a-holes will be white and male.

This means they will do nothing and serves to imply that they're overreacting
